TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, ELIJAII Y. BoYeE, of Middlebury, Addison county,Vermont, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Vashing-Maehines;and I lo 'hereby declare that the followinT is a full, clear, and

exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the lartto make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings forming part of this specification. i

This invention relates to an improved washing-machine, and consists in afixed standard, provided with a daslier, standing in a swinging,r box.The aecompauying drawing is a vertical section of my improvedwashingmaeliine. K .v

A A is a trough or-box, swinging freely by the standards a from thecross-bar b, in the supporting or galloWs-frame B. C is a standard,immovahly fixed to the frame B, and having at its foot the dasher D,provilledwith holes d for thepnssa-ge ofthe water. The foot ofthe dnsherD does not touch the bottom of trough A, but allows the latter to swingfreely. E is a plug, which, on being removed, allows the escape of' thewater from the trough A, and F is an eye, one on each end of the trough,into which the lover G hooks. to swing the trough.V
